touch to arabic culture, Dec 17, 2008

reviewer: Diamond from Lithuania

I've visited this place this year in August, and I must say, that it was worth. The exposition wasn't huge, but enough; I've spent there around ~1.2hr ; there was some old carpets, pieces of old Quran, statues, pots, tools of astronomy; There were several boards with some text about Arabic culture in some topics, as history, arabs and astronomy and etc;
